July 16, 2009

More than a third of workers skip lunch because of an increased workload or to trim expenses. Nearly half (45 percent) say they’re taking shorter and/or fewer lunch breaks than they did a year ago.

Kraft Foods Inc., Northfield, Ill., wants to help workers take back their lunch hour with four varieties of DiGiorno Flatbread Melts, a line of premium, single-serve handheld meals. With toasty flatbread folded over Italian-inspired ingredients -- such as white meat chicken, fire-roasted vegetables and delectable cheeses -- new DiGiorno Flatbread Melts help consumers make the most of their busy lunch break with a hot, restaurant-quality meal in less than 4 minutes in the microwave.

DiGiorno Flatbread Melts are available in four varieties: DiGiorno Chicken Parmesan Flatbread Melts, white meat chicken, Parmesan, Romano, Asiago and Mozzarella cheeses and green peppers in a sweet marinara sauce; DiGiorno Italian-Style Meatball & Four Cheese Flatbread Melts, Italian-style meatballs, Parmesan, Romano, Asiago and Mozzarella cheeses in a sweet marinara sauce; DiGiorno Chicken & Bacon Ranch Flatbread Melts, white meat chicken, applewood smoked bacon, Mozzarella cheese and red onion in a ranch sauce; and DiGiorno Steak & Fire Roasted Vegetables Flatbread Melts, steak, a blend of Parmesan, Romano, Asiago and Mozzarella cheeses, fire-roasted red and yellow peppers, zucchini and red onions in a sweet marinara sauce.
